Foods of Love
by Rachael Shugars, AAP Food Writer
February is my birthday. My birthday falls on the biggest “Lovers” holiday of the year. I celebration of this wonderous holiday (Valentine’s Day, not my birthday), I’m going to drop some knowledge for my readers of the foods of love, aphrodisiacs. The word itself resonates with anyone slightly familiar with the Greek goddess of Love herself, Aphrodite. She embodied anything related to love, lust, beauty, pleasure, passion, and procreation and she’s the perfect gals to have representing the foods I’ll be mentioning.
I suppose anything can be an aphrodisiac for anyone but there are a specific group of foods that will stir the soul and ruffle up any well-intentioned individual. The following group of foods is not limited to the list I am providing but simply a hand-picked selection of some of my favorites.
